The PhiiAdeIphia democratic.

An address ''to the Democratic voters OF
Philadelphia" was issued Friday night from
the head quarters Of the D. smocrstic city com.
mittee. The address claims that division re-
presentation has not been Q success In tho
Republican party, and, even II 1t were, the
argument could have but little effect, because o
the Democrats are without the division Or
ganizAt that the Republicans possess
There are such organizations In most parts of
the city, but it would be msnifestly unfair to
have q number of unorganizsd divisions re-
presented by anyone, outvoting those who do
represent the people Of their localities. The
address says that II the Democratic voters
desire con ventiOn called to revise the rules,
and they will indicate the fact in the proper
and prescribed way, the committee will i'm
medistely take steps to submit tine question.

Internal Revenue Figures.

Ninth internal revenue district are else.
where given. The increase shown Is most
remarkable. At the end of the fiscal year
June 80, 1ss5, the total collections
amounted to 81, 1856, ,6i6.26. The next year
they pulled up to sl,44s,Goos6. This was
a large increase, but the figures this year
cause these to pale into insignifcance.
These latter are 81, $4,000, or an In.
crease over the preceding year Of nearly a
quarter of million Of dollars.
II we must have the internal revenue
system, it is proper to have it in higl
state of efficiency. While the large increas'
shows that much unnecessary tax is lait
by the government, it also shows in graf
flying manner some good housekeeping b

An Unseemly Variance.

1t is certainly very unseemly that the
board of revenue commissioners Of the
state should be at issue with the attorney
general upon the question of the repeal of
the law levying state tax upon household
furniture, pleasure carriages and watches.
The attorney general, at the call of the
secretary of internal affairs, on June Sd
advised him that the act of May 18th abol-
ished these taxes and repealed all laws
under which they were cOl!ectible; and
the secretary of internal affairs instructed
the county commissioners not to col
lect these taxes. On June q the
secretary of the board of revenue commits.
siOners wrote to the county commissioners,
requesting them to collect the tax, as the
board intended to insist upon its return.
The county commissioners generally have
undertaken to comply with the demand,
and in this county those who have paid
their taxes, to save the discount, have
nearly all paid this tax-the great majority
because they knew no better, and the
others to avoid trouble and expense in re-
sisting the claim.
Taat it has been generally paid, how.
ever, affords no excuse for the wrong of
the exaction, and it is to be presumed that
in the collection of the remainder OF the
taxes great deal of trouble will be found
In getting the few cents that this levy
yields.
Whether the attorney generals decision
Is right or wrong, the board Of revenue
commissioners and the county commits.
siOners are not justified in antagOnizing it.
There is certainly no such certainty that he
Is wrong as TO warrant a coordinate
branch of the state government in refusing
to be guided by his opinion, especially after
has been adopted by the auditor general,
and the county commissioners have been
instructed accordingly.
We do not think that he is wrong. In
fact it seems to be very clear that he is
right. There is no question about the re-
peal of the law on May 18th, and the fact
that the tax repealed had been assessed at
that time, no more warrants its collection
In June, than would the fact that man
agreed in May to pay rent would entitle
the landlords agent to collect 1t in June,
after:the landlord had released it. The
State has power to release as well rs to levy
taxes. A tax does not become an irreyO.
cable debt when 1t is assessed, and repeal
OF the law levying it operates from the
date OF the passage. II part of this tax
bed been collected at the time OF the pas. |
IAgs OF the law, there might be question
raised rs to whether the collection
lhould 60 on or whether the amount col.
ectsd for the year should be refunded. But
whsn the collection had not begun there is
title room to question that it is not COL
eetible.

From the Country Gentleman.
And now, what books shall the young peo-
pie readr A great many excellent courses OF
reading have been marked out, advising spe
cial books, and appointing a stated length oi
time to each one but it seems to me this is
taking for granted that the mind of each
reader Is cast in the same mould, his taste
and requirements being the same. AS we all
know, this Is not the case, and the wisest and
most experienced cOunse!ors agree that
" each individual reader must try to deter
mine, first OF all, what /, best for himself. In
forming his decision, LET him make the ut
most use Of the best guides, not forgetting
that the average opinion Of educated men Is
pretty sure to be a corTec! opinion but let
him never put aside his own honesty and in.
dividuslity." I" He must choose his books
as he chooses his friends because of their in
teerity and helpiulness, and because OF the
pleasure their society gives him"

LANCASTER. JULY 2. 1887.
Celebration Of the Fourth.


A Joke of remarkable antiquity plays
upon the fourth letter Of this month as fol.
lows: Why is the Fourth of july"
Like most warm weather conundrums it is
promptly given up, and the feeble solution
d produced in the observation that ''y" is
the fourth Of July. There is good deal
Of solid wisdom concealed under this con-
umdrum and answer; for the Fourth Of
July as an event is certainly equal in i'm.
portance to one-fourth of the whole
month. Some patriotic citizens look for
ward to it with peculiar pleasure, and i'm
agine that they derive vast satisfaction
from noise and fireworks Of an old fash
ioned Fourth. Others, equally patriotic.
cannot appreciate the beauty of celebra-
ton by shock to the sense Of hearing, and
would prefer beautiful fireworks and
quiet Fourth while few philosophers
have cynical remarks to make about the
waste of cash that might do a great deal of
good il judiciously applied.
To meet these gentlemen on their own
ground is pleasant task. Pyrotechnic
displays rank with art and music in ap.
pealing to the. better nature of men through
the senses, and it may be that the vivid
impression of a few moments will have
more enduring effect on the mind than
hours of calm reasoning. The pleasure of
the display does not end with the darkness
that follows it, but like grand flash of
lightning, may live in memory for life
time and the refining effects of that burn
ing powder may be marvellous indeed.
That human ingenuity can produce such
beautiful effects by the use Of such simple
natural methods, certainly suggests that
the world and life might be made much
more beautiful and pleasant. 1t also gives
clue that may lead the mind to visions III
greater beauty than the earth reveals. All
true art is elevating in lis influence, be.
cause it takes tha mind away from the con
sideratepSi of the more material part o.
plssde by appealing to the sense of beauty, q
sense that is one Of the best measures OF
the civilization Of people.
This may seem to be lofty ground from
which to view the moral value Of pyro-
technc display, but there can be no ques.
tion that to many the brilliant vivid beauty
OF fireworks appeals more powerfully than
fine art, music or the thought-burdened
melody of poetry. The money for these
displays is taken from surplus that would
not be likely to find its way to charitable
channels, and If it did, it is an open ques.
tion whether itwould accomplish more real
good in tie world.

A CORRESPONDENT OF the American
Grocer calls attention to the poisonous color.
log matter used in the sweatbands OF hats.
White lead and litbsrge are frequently used
in connection with boiled oil to give leather
a high and glossy finish. While the use OF
lead in the swestbands OF hats is ro;hing
very recent, it is q matter not generally
known, and still less would ms injurious
character be suspected. In some cases the
compound used contains but little lead, and
1t may he covered by an extra finish so as to
be practically harmless. The most noticeable
effects of the poison are severe and peculiar
|, headaches in warm weather. The principal
| Ill effects resulting from the wearing Of such
| hat would be noticed during the first few
| weeks that the hat is worn and before the
sweatband is more or less protected by the
accumulation Of grease from the hair and
perspirstion. Close observation will show
| that the injurious effects OF leaden sweat
hands Casually OF a high lustre and patent
leather sppesrance) are more far reaching
| than is generally supposed.

IT il rather strange TO read In the Philadel.
pha Press a fair review OF q book that deals
severely with General Sheridan and not very
tsnderly with General Grant. The book bears
the title ''The Personal Memoirs and Military
History OF L. y. Grant versus the Record OF
the Army OF the Potomac" and the author il
Carswell Mcclellan, typographical assistant
and special aide on the staff OF General
Andrew A. Humphreys. This gentleman
shows where and how the Grant memoirs
fail to agree with the records. He does this
by making with extreme carefulness . com.
psrison OF the statements in the memoirs
whose accuracy is question ed, and the records
and orders made at the time. Colonel Nc.
CIellsn shows that General Grant re.
LIED upon General Adam Badeau's
"Military History OF U. 5. Grant" In many
cases when General Badeau was obviously
in error. Bsdeau in many cases Is fatty con.
trsdicted by Humphreys and the latter as
Meade 3 chief OF staff Is most likely to be
correct The Press says: "His whole
character and training were such q TO make
his every act and statement measured with
the utmost care"
This book brings ou. In startling way the
injustice done to General Warren by General
Sheridan and the strange treatment of
Meade by Grant and Sheridan. General
Grant often spoke favorsbly Of Meade;
Admiral Porter says that he told hin that
Meade was the ablest general he had met
abler than Sherman yet he promoted
Sheridan over Meade. General Warren, on
the other hand, was relieved from his com.
mand OF the Fifth corps on the field Of battle,
was persistently refused court inquiry and
died OF a broken spirit Meade and Warren
were alike in having been ridden over
roughshOd by Sheridan through General
Grants authority.
The conclusions of the author are that
General Sheridan erred in not ascertaining
the whereabouts Of the enemy and in giving
Warren orders which were not based ON
knowledge OF the situation. The evidence
produced seems to be convincing that Warren
won the fight and that Sheridan, failing to
find hiln because he was leading In person .
division In charge, relieved him by Grants
authority after the battle was won.
